    System Response

    No entry means a cash payment:

    initial payment method.
    The preliminary data medium exchange program outputs a warning message
    for such a record and does not perform a bank transfer.

    Check whether cash payment is really to be used as the payment method.
    If necessary, change this to 'Bank Transfer'.
    If the bank transfer information is not yet available, select the 'Bank
    Transfer Information Missing' indicator. In Payroll, a credit is then
    created.
